After all those crazy delays of requirements that are never communicated appropriately to materialize, I got 2 offers from cell phone carriers for internet services.
One , the first , is 25 mbps , on a wireless stick (would run on a laptop, with the proper external video card adapter, for around $120 for the stick and more for the adapter) , at $35 per month. I'm already with them, so it may only be a matter of paying them. However, this is designed to run on tablet, and is not high-speed internet.
Second, the other, is 40 mbps, and comes with a free tablet ($7 per month to run the tablet, with 1+GB of RAM), at $15 per month for 1 GB, $25 for 3 GB and $35 for 5 GB or 7 GB.
I know nothing of either systems latency (or ping rate, whether 5ms, 25ms or 40ms or 100ms), and their consistency is worst than cable , since it runs wireless from a satellite system with nodes around town...
Either way, the price is so low that I could test both and I will test the one with the free LG GPad with Android (no keyboard though).
It apparently runs the internet via USB connection from the tablet to a USB port connector on the Desktop PC instead of connecting with the Ethernet port. Alternately, it can also (theoretically , not tested yet, no matter how high the certainty ratio is or would be) connect on the internet via wireless system (given the desktop would have a wireless modem device connection, which it doesn't at this time). This would work on a laptop with a wireless modem. |

It doesn't matter, whether the plan is designed for a tablet or a laptop or any other device. If it's a satellite connection (not 100% clear on that), it will be shite for playing anything, due to the crazy latency.
If it's a mobile (phone) connection, you may be able to play somewhat, but you should be prepared for connection losses and lag. |

Best thing would be to try, do your providers have a delay of retractation ?
I'm trying that too, I live in a city so the signal (4G or LTE its called) is good enough to stay stable, and the speed even with up and down is always faster than the cable one that i had until now.
The mobile modem I got is horrible for a desktop pc though, there's no router in this pocket modem and it provides its internet only via wifi, that means I need two wireless signal from my computer to the internet, so the ping is a little higher but nothing preventing to play EVE.

Speed doesnt really matter when playing Eve. Eve uses very little bandwidth. What matters is latency and satellites have the worse latency of any internet service. You would be better on dial up than satellite.

Yes, well, there are a few changes, one being that , I now have 3 offers for internet and no longer 2.
The other change is that, one offer I had to run on a tablet required another credit than I had , or would have only been valid when I got my new credit.
I find it rather discriminating since they are offering free tablet, but it makes no sense.
However, that is a 3rd connection possible at $260 total ($100 deposit back after 3 months, plus a $160 tablet, worth $240, as if...)
Second, I got a $15 offer for a $50 phone connection type of modem running on a network of type: HSPA + 3.5g or something like that. It only has 1.5 mbps to 15 mbps. Their download capacity per month is unlimited and there is no cap for the speed once a certain level is reached.
I think I may take the offer for the 25 mbps which i will verify comparison with the other network info about before paying. However, I already deal with that company, even if I have to go a little bit further to get a $50 wireless modem stick. I think they charge $35 per month for 10 GB of data download per month. I think it's throttled over 10 GB, or I don't know what else is offered.
I hope to get the internet running tonight. |

EVE doesn't need a high bandwidth connection and it's pretty tolerant of high latency. What it does need, though, is a reliable connection. |

Seriously, stop considering phone and sattlite as serious providers of internet. They aren't made for online gaming, but are great if you want to check your e-mail. Phone providers usually have tons of hidden crap in their clauses, and tend to lure you in with something cheap and shiny to get you to sign.
56k modem would almost be better.

It's planet Urhead as opposed to planet Uranus. The latter cannot be depictured, because it's not part of the EvE lore.

Would like to stress what others have said about satellite internet. This involves bouncing a signal off a satellite and back to earth when data is sent either to or from your computer. These satellites are like 35,000km above us so the total distance your signal goes in one "ping" is 140,000km; using some simple maths you can see the minimum ping over these systems is 140,000 km / 300,000 km/s (speed of light) = ~0.5s for your signal to travel to a server and back. In other words unusable for online gaming where response times are important.

But it does require a minimum IQ 65 to log on ( 75 to actually undock ). I barely made it at IQ 70 The down side is: I am stuck here on the forums reading and writing and can't undock

Civil discourse is uniquely human. After all, when is the last time a pride of lions and a herd of water buffalo negotiated SOV over a watering hole? Never.

You can't run 56k modem except on a landline and a BBS.
As for your mention to seriously stop considering phone and sattlite as serious providers of internet. You omit blatantly that other providers refuse to give me the service for over a year sending in an endless loop they can't even see the end of due to military intelligence, and neither do you see the end of it for the matter.
#2. Another connections costs me around $400 + the service costs, install costs, and other requirements. And there are many other requirements, which , obviously, I do not have, and are intended to be like that, for that exact purpose.
#3. Even the very mention that you start in that exact intimidating tone is a 3rd and additional proof of the fact.
I got my connection now, it will work and EVE will work. The offer with the 25mbps also turned out to be a dud since it was about a discontinued device. I was told a store would have it in 2 days, but it is not worth the try to find out. I was given an advance to get the service I have and it is unlimited.

Use mobile 4g if you have that signal at home or where you plan to use if it is for home test it must be OK best way to test it is to fire up something like league of Legends and try to kill some ppl if it runs smooth you are set.
Eve can tolerate worst latency that lol or shooters dont test with EVE.
Make sure to ask for an limit on data sharing ie using phone as hotpot or USB tether for example my plan provide unlimited data for 2 users but have 7gb hot spot limit per user. For eve that is 6.5gb more than I need but that depends do you plan to use that data to more than phone use.
Also is most mobile of three
My plan cost 50 buck per user and I have tendency to pull around 40 gigs per month so that 35$ for lol 5gb is anything but cheap.

2nd finding was, the IP was attacked day 1.
I don't need a counter-intelligence license to figure out how.
It worked better at certain times.
I have no limits as to how many connections I can get. I can get better than that.
edit: The services I referred to are Internet services, not phone internet services. They are not designed for phone use.
Also, the one I have may not function on Android. But that is also besides the point.
There is no limit on mine and there is no proof of yours. Other services have more limits than this one. However, the hardware is loaded to run showing those limits. There are reasons why it is like that, and some of the reasons are business reasons. |

So, with the first connection's device discontinued 2 days after start with no device refund (I only get a partial refund for the paid time), I have to get a new one.
My second connection will cost me $170 (with tax included in that cost) , and will run at $35 per month, although it has a 10 GB limit.
The EVE client was 3 GB on the unlimited connection, so that will save me to install that again. However, I am pretty sure there are a lot more files to download.
There is a way to go over that monthly 10 GB data download quota but it costs around $10 per 3 GB or so, I am not sure. |
